10 Most-Cited Law & Technology Scholars in the U.S., 2016-2020 (CORRECTED)

Based on the latest Sisk data, here are the ten most-cited law faculty in law & technology (including Internet law [cyberlaw], informational privacy, cybersecurity, and AI/robotics) in the U.S. for the period 2016-2020 (inclusive) (remember that the data was collected in late May/early June of 2021, and that the pre-2021 database did expand a bit since then).  Numbers are rounded to the nearest ten.   This is a new category, growing out of (justified) dissatisfaction with the lumping together of cyberlaw and intellectual property in 2018; there will be a separate listing for intellectual property, probably later this week.  (I am grateful to Professors Ryan Calo [Washington/Seattle] and Mark Lemley [Stanford] for help in thinking about how to define the new category.)  Faculty for whom roughly 75% or more of their citations (based on a sample) are in this area are listed; others with less than 75% of their citations in this field (but still a plurality) are listed in the category of "other highly cited scholars who work partly in this area."
